Sportsmanship is a growing concern in North Dakota.
The North Dakota High School
Activities Association assembled a committee to review
issues statewide and make
recommendations in hopes of
improving sportsmanship in all
activities. This was a very difficult task. The committee worked diligently in coming up with some of the
following recommendations.
The head coach of each team would fill out a
short evaluation following all contests on how the
officials enforced the rules and addressed sportsmanship issues. The officials would be required to
evaluate the coaches, players, and fans. Each school
would receive a report following the season on how
well their coaches, players, and fans created a positive environment in the competitive atmosphere. The
school would work on improving areas where
needed. The officials would also receive a score.
This would allow them to work towards improvement,
or possibly work towards placement in post-season
tournaments.
2003 NDHSCA Vice Presidential Candidates
The North Dakota High School Coaches Association’s Executive Board made
nominations for balloting for the Association’s Vice President. The balloting will be
conducted at the Annual Coaches Convention that will be held in Fargo, ND July 22 - July
25, 2003. The two candidates will be Scott Grochow, Rugby High School’s coach of football, track, and co-athletic director; and Julie Jensen, Kindred High School’s girls’
basketball and golf coach.

NDHSCA 2002-2003 Executive Board
President and Others
By Gelaine Orvik
President Jack Carlson has returned to his home in
Dickinson and is undergoing chemo-therapy. His two
treatments in Rochester for the tumors on his liver have
placed the tumors in remission.
The Association’s President has maintained a marvelous attitude throughout the entire process. When I
visited with him in November, he shared his desires to
fight the dread disease with all of his might.
At the same time Jack shared his spiritual views
and his vow that his God will care for him. President
Carlson also indicated that when someone tells him that
he has only a 10% chance to survive, he is encouraged
that he is one of the 10% who will survive. He is an inspiration to everyone who looks at a “half empty glass.”
When questioned about his strength and prognostication for the rest of the school year, he vowed, “I will be
coaching track and field in the spring.”
Jack’s capacity is admirable, just as others are to
be held in awe. John Gallagher, cross-country coach at
Carrington High School, also shared his struggle over
the past fall. He had a five by-pass open heart surgery
and has struggled to endure. Another coach has a personal story to tell about real success. To reach the top of
the mountain requires true grit and faith in addition to the
love and encouragement of friends.
One day in October, Sheryl Solberg shared the
tragedy of the death of Paulette Wentz. Paulette is a
volleyball coaching veteran from Napoleon High School.
She entered the season with a 289-98 won-loss record.
However, the inspiration and love that the Imperials
shared as they battled other athletes were a direct unending guidance from the coach that could only view
from above.
Late this fall another friend to all track and field
coaches took another turn to reach the oval in the sky.
“O.J.” died suddenly after a battle with a rare disease.
As I sat at his memorial service, I was inspired with the
love that permeated the congregation. Darrel Hestdalen’s eulogy was an inspiration for all present. As I review the message in the OJ’s service bulletin, I am again
taken aback:
God saw he was getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around him
And whispered “Come with Me.”

North Dakota Class B Coaches:
I first would like to let the Class B Basketball
Coaches know that I have agreed to stay on and help
with the Lions’ All Star Team for the time being; I will be
working with Terry West, helping him get his feet on the
ground in the position of Lions’ All Star Basketball Chairman. This year we will be sharing the duties with Terry
doing the Class A and I will be doing the Class B.
I am writing this letter in an effort to clear up some
problems in the nomination ballot for the Lions’ All Star
Basketball Team. In the past it seems that the Class B
coaches do not realize that they are nominating deserving seniors from their whole Region, not just their District.
I know it is hard to know all the players from the other
District in your Region, but it is important to try to get as
much information as possible so as to be able to nominate the most deserving players. In the past few years
as the Chairman, the most common complaint that I have
dealt with is the nominating and selection of the Class B
Teams.
As a fellow coach, I ask each of you to do your best
to nominate the five best players from your Region, and
to do so by the time deadline, so that all of our deserving
athletes are given the chance to be considered for the
Lions’ team.
Sincerely, Curt Herman
I would like to thank everyone involved with the
ND High School Coaches Association. It was an
Honor to receive the scholarship and very much appreciated. The money I was awarded has already
helped to cover expenses at Concordia College in
Moorhead.
Bill Neuheisel
*****
I would like to thank you at the NDHSCA for
making last night [the convention banquet] one I will
never forget!!! Your Award of Merit is truly an honor.
Please pass along my gratitude to the entire
organization.
Sincerely, Lee Timmerman

President and Others (continued from page 2)
Bill Jansen continues his struggle with cancer. He
was given a bitter-sweet pill the last week of October
when he was informed that his cancer was no longer in
remission. Concurrently, his senior cross country runner
repeated as champion of the State Class A race. The
young athlete may have been even more inspired to
succeed as he watched his coach fight for life. Bill informs the Association Office that he will be ready for the
track and field season. Bill is presently doing testing and
will have further therapy after Christmas.

West and Herman Team up for Lions’ All Star Hoops
Terry West, Red River High
School’s girls’ basketball
coach, has been selected to
serve as NDHSCA Lions’ All
Star Basketball Co-chairman.
Terry West was selected by the NDHSCA Executive Board at the recent November board
meeting (Terry excused himself from the board
meeting and was not involved in the discussion, the
motion, or the voting on the motion).
Gelaine Orvik discussed the importance of
NDHSCA making the Lions’ All Star Chairs position
a two person assignment since both boys’ and girls’
basketball are played during the same winter season. With that in mind, the player selection, the players’ contacts, the games’ advertising campaign, and
all details involve twice the number of contact during
the spring season. The board agreed that making
the position a two person assignment was vital.
The first assignment was to contact the Class A
person. The NDHSCA Board appointed Terry West
to serve as the Class A Chairman. Curt Herman was
contacted to verify the step taken to alleviate the
workload, and he agreed to continue to serve as the
Class B Chairman. He also agreed to serve as a
transition for Terry West to begin his duties. The
Board and Terry were agreeable that having Curt
available for transitioning and guidance would be
invaluable for the Lions’ All Star Basketball player
selection and contests.
The NDHSCA Board agreed unanimously that
the transition was vital. The request for continued
services by Curt Herman was identified as the most
important key to a continuation of the Lions’ All Star
Basketball Program.
The Class B applicants and other Class A applicants were notified of the action by the NDHSCA
Board. All applicants were urged to continue interest
when and if one of the co-chairmen were to resign.
2003 Vice-President Candidates
The NDHSCA Executive Board nominated Vice-President Candidates at the November
Executive Board meeting. The candidates are Scott Grochow, Rugby High School and Julie
Jensen, Kindred High School. The balloting will be conducted at the 2003 NDHSCA Convention that will be held in Fargo, July 23rd-25th.
Scott Grochow graduated from Anamoose High
School and Minot State University. He earned a
mathematics masters’ degree from Minot State University and an Administrator’s Master’s
from Mary University. Scott is a seventeen year coaching veteran at
Rugby. He has served as head football coach for twelve years and head
track and field coach for eight years.
He has also been an assistant football coach for five years and assistant track and field coach for nine
years. He coached basketball for twelve years as an
assistant, but no longer coaches basketball. He also
serves as co-athletic director.
Scott’s football teams have a 68-49 record and his
track and field teams sport a 68-28 record, using the
NDHSCA milestone record. Scott’s 1996 track and
field team won a state championship. He was selected
State Coach of the Year in AA football twice and regional COTY in track and field four times.
Scott and his wife Kerry have two children: Kaycee
and Mitch.
Julie Jensen graduated from Kindred High School
and Concordia College. Julie coached nine years at
Sheldon High School before she moved to Kindred
where she enters her 13th season
as head girls’ basketball coach (she
has been an assistant girls’ basketball coach for seven years.). She
has also been head girls’ golf coach
for the past three years. Julie was
an assistant track and field coach
for nine years.
Julie’s girls’ basketball coaching
record is 172-135. Her golf teams have an 18-1 record
over three years. The Vikings’ golf team won a state
championship in 2002. She has been selected District
Coach of the Year in girls’ basketball twice. She was
selected Regional COTY in girls’ golf all three seasons
that she has coached the sport and State Coach of the
Year in 2002.
Julie and her husband Paul have three children:
Kristen, Kara, and Andy.

NDHSCA EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING
Schroeder JHS; Grand Forks, ND 58201
November 16 & 17, 2002
In the absence of Jack Carlson, due to medical
reasons, Randy Johnson assumed the gavel and called
the meeting to order at 1:00 with Todd Olson, Dave
Dougherty, Terry West, Karen Hardie, John Hutchison,
and Gelaine Orvik, present.
Mike Berg was present, representing the Shrine
Football Committee. Mike gave a report on the Riddell
football helmet and the claims that the manufacturer
was making. The claim that the helmet prevents concussions simply is not a proven fact. The Equipment
Managers Association has taken a stand against the
manufacturer. The NATA also have made negative
statements about the advertising that has occurred.
Mike presented a nomination form requesting a
Special Recognition Award be presented to the Shrine
group that has been the center of the working group to
host the Shrine Football Contests. He also discussed
the news comments that alluded to the Shrine Hospital
being in danger of closing because of the shortage of
patients. Basically, that means that the hospital is in
need of patients, and not that any financial needs exists. If the hospital is closed, the athletes will be given
videos to watch and special speakers to explain the
shrine hospital and goals of the Shriners.
The Shrine Football games are scheduled for Saturday, July 19th at 3:00 and 7:00 PM respectively. The
coaches will be selected next week when the winning
coaches from each classification have been identified.
Grammatical errors and typo errors were pointed
out in the minutes of the July Executive Board. Dave
Dougherty moved to accept the minutes as corrected;
Todd Olson seconded the motion. Motion passed 6-0.
The minutes of the NDHSCA July Annual Meeting
will be distributed at the March Executive Board Meeting.
The Financial Report was presented; the financial
balances on November 7, 2002 were as follows:
$ 4,408.70 Checking account balance
$
93.37 Savings account balance
$11,067.52 Money Market Share bal. (3.66 APR)
$ 500.00 Petty Cash Balance
Karen Hardie presented a printout of the NDHSCA
Membership that has been received through membership registration and through the NDHSCA Convention
registration. Memberships to date number 734 (that includes life memberships). Membership reports for the
November Executive Board Meeting in the past were as
follows:
11/12/01
11/15/99
11/11/98
10/30/97
10/30/96
757 paid memberships
711 paid memberships
740 paid memberships
704 paid memberships
689 paid memberships
Terry West moved to accept the membership report; Dave Dougherty seconded the motion. Motion
passed 6-0.
Gelaine Orvik gave a report on Jack Carlson’s
medical condition, as he observed on Wednesday, November 6th. Jack was extremely talkative and appeared
much rested, although the two visited for 4-5 hours.
Jack has a very healthy outlook on his condition, albeit
he still has malignant nodules on his lungs. Jack also
reported that his doctor’s visit early the week of November 11th confirmed that the tumors in his liver have not
grown in the past month. The week of November 18th,
he will begin chemotherapy in Bismarck. Gelaine also
shared the inspiration that one feels when Jack is present. Jack has a marvelous spiritual outlook on all of the
happenings of the year.
Randy Johnson gave a report that he had been
contacted regarding a Hall of Fame Nomination form.
He had provided the form. Randy and the board also
were informed that copies of all forms are available on
the NDHSCA website.
Todd Olson transferred a request that All Star Contest Chairs names along with telephone numbers, addresses, and email addresses be listed on the Executive Board on the Website.
Dave Dougherty gave a report on a request from
Terry Porter of the Athletic Directors’ Association to endorse the Athletic Directors’ intent to amend the ByLaws of the NDHSAA to allow Class A basketball to
increase the number of contests by two and thereby
allowing all athletes in North Dakota to have opportunity
to compete in the same number of games, regardless of
whether Class A or Class B.
Terry West asked that all stationary and website
pages be updated to reflect new addresses for himself,
Karen Hardie, and Gelaine Orvik.
Karen Hardie and John Hutchison had no report.
Gelaine Orvik distributed printed materials that he
had received since the convention. One such mailing
was from Schutt Sports, seeking topics for speakers for
next year’s football clinic. He also distributed Life Membership lists. He then distributed a letter that requested
additional fee for speaking at the convention that was
over and above the contract that had been signed.
Terry West moved that the clinic speaker conflict be
resolved by paying the additional $90 and provide the
speaker options for future directions for cooperation
between NDHSCA and the specified group; motion seconded by Todd Olson. Motion passed 6-0.
Outstanding Income:
NDHSAA (Convention re-imbursement) $ 4,000.00
VALIC (Hall of Fame Plaques)
$ 863.57
Select Inn (COTY Rings)
$1,800.00
Gelaine explained that the two large checks that
had been drawn from the account were to pay for the
Hall of Fame Rings and to pay the Executive Secretary’s per diem allowance for the 2001-2002 year.
Karen Hardie added that two deposits have been prepared for deposit that amount to nearly $2,000.00 and
will be credited within the next two days. Todd Olson
moved to accept the financial report; Terry West seconded the motion. Motion passed 6-0.

2002-2003 Membership Report
NDHSCA has 791 members on its Membership roll as of December 15th. The membership
numbers is somewhat less than one year ago and
yet the Association is happy with the number. The
Association will again emphasize each member’s
responsibility to solicit membership by providing
every assistant coach a membership form.
A remarkable number of schools provide
membership for coaching staffs. Coaches who
have memberships provided by schools are urged
to share the working relationship that exists with
athletic directors and administrations with coaches
from other schools. Although our coaches are underpaid, maybe providing memberships is a means
of “payment in kind.”
A membership application form is included in
every issue of the Dakota Coach. The April and
June issues will always provide an application for
the current year as well as next year. The April and
June issues will also always include a convention
registration form. Convention registration includes
membership as a benefit of registering for the
clinic.
A Lifetime Membership Application form is
also included as a feature of the Association. The
application form will always be found on the inside
cover of the back page.
Our President urged members to solicit membership of every coach in his or her school. Obviously, our membership is strength for operation
and representation to other entities. Please join!

NDHSCA Victory Milestones
Please help the NDHSCA keep your records current. Each coach must send their record at the completion of each season. If coaching more than one sport, complete each sport on a separate form. If you
are completing the victory milestone for the first time, make sure to give your record for each year.
Report only the highest level of coaching each season. Don't add coaching seasons together (ex. if a coach is coaching both jr. high boys basketball and varsity basketball, count only the varsity basketball record for that season). If coaching both varsity girls' and varsity boys' basketball, count
each season on separate forms and don't add together as one record. Under the new format for counting victories in certain sports such as track
and field, cross country, tennis, golf, swimming, and gymnastics; the old records will need to be updated. Remember to keep each sport season
separate and always report the highest level of coaching in each sport.
Mail completed form/s to: Gelaine Orvik; 3457 - 26th Avenue SW; Fargo, ND 58103. Awards will be sent upon request after records are updated.
Procedure For Determining Won/Loss Records In An Invitational Meet:
A. In an invitational meet, the teams that finish below you will count as victories, those that finish above you are losses. Any teams that you tie
will count as a win.
B. Figure out the total number of teams you have competed against and what percentage of those teams were wins and losses.
C. Take the percentage of wins/losses from above and multiply it against the number of meets you participated in to arrive at your won/loss record for the season.
D. If this is not a whole number, victories will always be rounded down and losses will be rounded up. (Obviously, if your team has participated
in ten meets during the year, your wins plus losses should equal ten.)

 Only meets in which three or more schools participate will count as an invitational.
 Schools can still have a dual meet record that would remain the same along with a
record for the invitationals they attend.
 It will be up to the individual coaches to determine their records from past years
and update wins or revise their victory milestone forms.
